Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lords of Cuningham
From the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries Ayrshire was the chosen home of the blood feud. National troubles weakened the central authority to such an extent that the barons, turbulent and jealous, took occasion by the hand; and when their energies were not called into exercise by the necessity for presenting common front to common foe, they sought to advantage them selves by carrying on destructive and desolating strife with their neighbours and rivals.
